Odd Place Names
For those bored with Whisper's Word Game - here's the odd Place Name Game. OK, it's not a game but then neither is the word thing. This DOES have rules though - you have to include a photo of the place name (can be googled but not photoshopped). I started a similar thread a while back and I've either deleted it or lost it, so I'll repost a few.

Berkeley, CA was one of the early "Nuclear Weapon Free" cities. It was something like a $50 fine if you detonated a nuke in the city limits.
